Altmore²⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas

11/10

11/4, fourth of 9 in maiden (11/4) at Newcastle (6f) on debut in November. It's taken a while to get him back to the track (has been gelded) but he should have more to offer for a top yard.

10/11

Progressive form, finishing second in maidens at Haydock (7f) and Southwell (6f) in recent months. The one to beat.

Form: 922

Trafalger

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: William Cox| T: Brian Toomey

66/1

French Navy gelding. Dam 2-y-o 5f/6f winner. Worth a second look in the betting.

20/1

110,000 gns. Sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Jonah Jones and closely related to 1m winner Scattered Thoughts. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner). This is a belated debut for this daughter of No Nay Never.

Artemesia

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Rooke| T: C E Longsdon

66/1

Dartmouth filly. Dam bumper winner/winning hurdler. Hardly an obvious one to be starting out over this sort of trip.

Forecasts

Caffu Zafeen (10/11), Altmore (11/10), Kalik (7/1), Doctor Awtaad (16/1), Farnaleen (20/1), Trafalger (66/1), Artemesia (66/1), Rising From Embers (150/1)

CAFFU ZAFEEN has to be considered the one to beat under Billy Loughnane, although a strong market move for returning William Haggas runner Altmore would put a slightly different slant on things.
